Guidelines for Resilience Systems Analysis: How to analyse risk and build a r...Dr Lendy Spires
Everybody is talking about resilience. The idea that people, institutions and states need the right tools, assets and skills to deal with an increasingly complex, interconnected and evolving risk landscape, while retaining the ability to seize opportunities to increase overall well-being, is widely accepted.
In reality, however, it has not been easy to translate this sound idea into good practice, mostly because people in the field don’t yet have the right tools to systematically analyse resilience, and then integrate resilience aspects into their development and humanitarian programming.
This guidance aims to fix that problem
In this document you will find a step by step approach to resilience systems analysis, a tool that helps field practitioners to:
• prepare for, and facilitate, a successful multi-stakeholder resilience analysis workshop
• design a roadmap to boost the resilience of communities and societies
• integrate the results of the analysis into their development and humanitarian programming
Hello, friends,
It is a second time, we are wishing you a happy new year in 2022. This time it is the tiger happy new year 2022.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
